Here, we eliminate camera-induced delay time by continuously recording during beam-image shift acquisition using a method called Continuous Recording Beam-Image Shift (CR-BIS). The utilization of CR-BIS with K3 and Falcon 4 direct electron detectors and conventional data acquisition conditions enables the acquisition of ~34,000 micrographs and ~1,000 tilt series per 24 h in single-particle analysis mode and cryo-electron tomography mode, respectively. Three-dimensional reconstructions of single-particle and tomographic datasets show that CR-BIS accelerates data collection and maintains data quality. CR-BIS is broadly applicable for efficient high-resolution cryo-EM since it can be implemented into existing acquisition software through scripting and it does not require hardware modification. |
